Meet Minneapolis stylist David Anger and his assistant, Stacy Schimke. Team DIY challenged these experts to put their savvy design caps on and redo two rooms in this urban apartment. The assignment: Create a space that makes a big impression on a small budget. The design decisions were up to them. We gave them three simple rules:

1. Live, Work, Play. Combine business and pleasure. The ability to work, live, and play is essential in this space.
2. IKEA Chic. Most of the items used in the apartment must come from our fave furniture superstore, IKEA
3. Frugal & Fun. Be thrifty. We gave the designers only $1,000 to bring nifty new style to these dated digs.
